Directed by Martin Scorsese, George Harrison – Living in the Material World is a stunning double-feature-length film tribute to one of music’s greatest icons.
Scorsese uses never-before-seen footage from George Harrison’s childhood, throughout his years with The Beatles, through the ups and downs of his solo career, and through the joys and pain of his private life, to trace the arc of George’s journey from his birth in 1943 to his passing in 2001. Living in the Material World features private home videos, photos and never before heard tracks to chronicle the incredible story of the extraordinary man.
Despite its epic reach, the film is deeply personal. Ringo Starr, Eric Clapton, Paul McCartney, Yoko Ono, Olivia and Dhani Harrison, among many others, talk openly about George’s many gifts and contradictions and reveal the lives they shared together. In every aspect of his professional, personal and spiritual life, until his final hours, George blazed his own path.
As his friend John Lennon once said: "George himself is no mystery. But the mystery inside George is immense. It’s watching him uncover it all little by little that’s so damn interesting."

A must for all Beatles fans
Just when you thought there was nothing more to say about Ya Fabs...This documentary sheds a fascinating light on The Beatles career through the prism of one of the four. Some starling footage for example a grumpy George and depressed Paul signing the paperwork to split up the Beatles. "Living in a Material World" is much more than a Beatles documentary though, it looks at George solo career through all it's incarnations. If the only thing George had done was to make sure "Withnail and I" came to be made he would have earned my admiration, but it covers his involvement with The Pythons and The Travelling Wilburys. The documentary also goes into detail about Gerorge' spirtual life which is very thought provoking. Highly recommended!
